With a ton of high priced free agents about to hit the open market, I thought it would be fun to try to pair these guys with some intriguing suitors for a Valentine's Day special. Here goes nothing.
Mike Wallace sprints to the Panthers, giving Cam Newton a long term answer at wide receiver:
Maybe this is just me dreaming of fantasy football season already, but this is the type of move that the Panthers need to make to help Newton develop. As I've said all along, they made a huge mistake by trying to surround him with as many high priced running backs as possible when the NFL has transformed into a pass happy league, and it has really hurt the entire team. Steve Smith has been clamoring for the Panthers to add other receiver for about half a decade, now it is time that they do so.
Greg Jennings pulls a Brett Favre and jumps town for the Vikings and some payback:
With Percy Harvin all but gone, the Vikings biggest weakness is about to get even bigger. Adding Jennings would give the Vikings a savvy veteran to help a group of young receivers. Christian Ponder really struggled without Harvin the second half of the season and he would certainly go gaga for Jennings. This could become a couple that the Packers fear for years to come.
Wes Welker stays with his Brady-boy:
Has there been a more productive couple over the last six seasons? Not even close. Welker is not 100 catch guy on any other team. Tom Brady would not be nearly as productive without this guy being about as reliable as they come. He has gotten a lot of flack for dropping passes over the last few years, but he is still one of the best in the business and he deserves to be paid like one. Despite my hatred of the Patriots, it would be a shame to see these two apart for the end of their careers.
Reggie Bush might be the Packers missing piece to get back to the Super Bowl:
As bad as the Packers defense has been over the last two seasons, the run game has been equally horrendous. They have not had a legit rushing threat since Ryan Grant was in his prime. Just imagine how dangerous Aaron Rodgers could be if he could check down to a guy like Bush. These two could be scary good together.
Dwight Freeney and Chandler Jones would be the best pass rushing duo in the NFL:
This combo would once again make the Patriots the favorite to win the Super Bowl. This is a move that just makes too much sense to not happen. Freeney is an undervalued asset after a couple of rough years, and Bill Belichick loves a good deal.
